Is it RISC-V or bloated software full of layered abstractions?

>Bazzite's fate is sealed as a non-commercial hobbyist-like OS.

Sounds like good news to me.

>NVidia

Angry Linus noises...

They make the only accelerated graphics cards supported on Linux.

That's not true. And of course Wayland has hardware acceleration.

Gnome Conduit software. Used to synchronize a lot of my local-first data (calendar, photos, music) to different online services. Nice to see in one place where everything goes and what is the sync status.

RTM or SP3? When users talk about XP being awesome, they talk about SP3.

Softmachines VISC architecture is not dead?

All Moscow public transport powered by these chips (actually it was, nowadays the chips we use are clones, made in Russia itself) - trains, metro and buses.

For a few years now, you may usually do a contactless card payment - just tap your bank (debit or credit) card. The fare is often higher but so is convenience.

Back around 2010 I remember reading these accusations that significant part of revenue went directly to Mifare for the massive number of chips.

And for single rides, some of Metro systems still use these steampunk brass tokens. Sometimes, less authentic plastic.

every single transportation system that uses disposable nfc are definitely making a ton of money for the vendor.

and every transportation system that pretends to run as a profit center and not a cost center also makes ton of money for the vendors.

In the systems I’ve ridden, there’s usually some kind of plastic stored-value card for regular riders, and the (more expensive) disposable tickets are only used by occasional riders.

A system I used in China had NFC plastic coins for occasional use, which were collected and refused by the exit barrier.

Building roads and selling cars, though, also makes an awful lot of money for the vendors.

Elbrus are VLIW/EPIC, based on home-grown architecture.

The SPARC-based one is the old MCST R1000.

>who would be willing to fab it

Before the conflict, they used TSMC. Now, AFAIK, the only fab available is Mikron, located in Zelenograd near Moscow. And only 90nm process. There were some rumors about switching to SMIC, but I have not heard any updates for quite some time.

Do Mozilla next, Mozilla!

Deep analysis of Pocket and other crapware would be nice.

Well, of course we use Pocket if the native browser bookmarking function doesn't save the full text of the page for search. Why can't we have the tiniest improvement for bookmarking in browsers in 25 years? It's like they took an oath to never improve it.

I removed it all the time, but after update it came back like a malware.

Official specs only state 4Kp60 HEVC decoder

So no encoders and no h.264 decoder.

Interesting. Thankfully, LibreElec think the Raspberry Pi 5 is strictly better, despite shifting to software decoding:

> BCM2712 supports HEVC 4K60 hardware decoding. It no longer supports H264 in hardware. This might sound odd but it removes the RPi4’s 1080p restriction on H264 decoding and the 4K H264 test media we have has played. The big increase in performance from the Quad-Core A76 chip means RPi5 can software decode AV1, H264, VC1, VP9, and more at 1080p with ease
